The Dolphins have a need for an upgrade at TE, they have for years. They didn’t go after any of the big names last off season. Ireland is still the GM so odds are they won’t this year…

Colts will pick him up with the 1st pick of the second round.

Possibility for the Bears at #19? Now that they no longer have Mike Martz never using a TE, plus got the WR they need in Brandon Marshall, it would seem the Bears’ offensive needs are OL and TE. Although if Kuechly is there, he is another possibility, I would think.

I don’t think I can run 40 yards, think I might collapse around 37.

Combine 40 time: indoors (no wind), flat ground, everyone runs on the same surface, electronic timer

That’s the real 40 time.

Why buy into these bogus 40 times when there is no assurance that all of the above conditions are met?

Would not be surprised at all if the Colts take Luck and then Fleener.

With Clark gone after 2 injury plagued seasons, the Colts will look to add a TE somehow either early/mid draft or FA.

He’ll be a bust if nothing more than he has an awful name. Coby Fleener? Sounds like a brand of vacuum.

Does anyone know whether he is related to the Fleeners from Hickory, Indiana??

I was wondering if Myra Fleener was his grandma or something??

Yeah, But does he know how to tweet pictures of himself with a pornstar wearing his jersey?

Woops, how could I forget about the return of T2, Prince probably wont be expected to start but his roll will definitely be increased, and he hasn’t proven himself yet

If you’re shocked that Fleener runs a 4.45-4.51 40 yard dash that means ONE thing:

He doesn’t play at that speed.

The end..
____________________
People are shocked by this? The guy was going to run fast. He is a deep threat TE, and has always been heralded for his athleticism. He has gotten better at blocking and being an all-around TE, which is why he is a top prospect at the position.

And to the guy who said “Aaron Hernandez 2.0,” have you only ever head of one good tight end? Because that is the only excuse I can think for why you would compare a short guy, hybrid like Hernandez to Fleener. Terrible analogy.

I have a feeling a team will reach for him before the Giants pick at 32 due to his impressive pro day and the current rise in utilization at the tight end position, but here’s hoping he falls to them.. i guess.

Giants can go in a lot of different directions with the #32 pick that I really wouldn’t mind (solidify the O-line, finally address the MLB position in a draft, add some depth to the coverage team now that Aaron Ross is out and Prince is expected to start)

With that said, whoever it is better be ready to hear the BOOOOO’S at radio city music hall!

Because Fleener is a mediocre blocker. In fact Hill, Randle, and Floyd are all better blockers and they are wideouts

ninerdynasty — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:15:42 +0000

If no one picks him by the 29th pick.. you can bet anything that niner will jump all over him. Harbaugh will not pass on his boy, if you guys know anything about JH, he loveeeees big targets!

Phil Simms and Merrill Hoge are watching Andrew Luck’s Pro Day an are ready to say he should fall below Tannehill.

Fleener has it all. Size, speed, smarts. He is better receiver than Blackmon. Only a couple of the WR coming out averaged more yards per catch than Coby (19.6) last season. 10 tds in 12 games.

Dolphins fans shouldn’t be allowed to comment on anything anymore. Why would you want to ruin a guys career by sending him to Miami? Too bad the NFL doesn’t have relegation so we could send them to the UFL…

nflfollower — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:08:05 +0000

Looking at that picture it just doesn’t look like he could run that fast or jump very high at all. I think I know why the media was surprised.

My rams get justin blackmon at 6 and coby fleener at pick 33 to pair with lance kendricks and sam is set!

Bummer, he probably won’t be there for the Niners at #30 anymore.

He’s no Gronk. Speed is great, but hands are better.
